The Long and Tortured History of Cancel Culture
“So much has been written about cancel culture in the past year that weariness sets in just reading the words. What it is, what to call it and whether it even exists are all in dispute. The term is shambolically applied to incidents both online and off that range from vigilante justice to hostile debate to stalking, intimidation and harassment.”
So much going on in this piece and I've been thinking about it since I read it. I feel like the history and way in which a lot of different writing and thinking are linked in it is what keeps me thinking about it and how we use the term it's attempting to understand.
